I have loved to cook since I was a small child. My grandma would always let me help her in the kitchen and I fell in love with it!

My favorite things to cook

I love to get creative and try new things. I am best at baking!

My cooking triumphs

I made the best chicken ever by combining a few of my favorite recipes. I wasn't sure at the time if it would turn out, but it was AWESOME! My husband and our four year old request it all the time!

My cooking tragedies

I made the nastiest orange chicken ever! It was a recipe that someone gave to me and said it was great. Boy were they wrong! The worst part was that I had invited my in-laws over for dinner and they had to suffer through it. I wouldn't even eat it, but they were too polite and ate it anyways. I tried to tell that that it wouldn't bother me a bit, but they are just too nice.

Wow! I was a little worried after read some of the reviews, but I can honestly say I will NEVER buy canned SCM again! Not only is this such an easy recipe, but it tastes SO much better than the canned stuff! I did add 1/2 tsp of vanilla and I put the liquid ingredients in my mini blender before the dry ones, because several reiviews said that would be helpful! It turned out to be the perfect consistancy and tasted amazing! Some people said theirs turned out gritty from the powdered milk, but I think it depends on the brand of powdered milk you use. I have always used the store brand because of the expense, but I recently bought some from www.providentliving.org for my food storage and it was WAY better. It was very refined and powdered, whereas the store brands did tend to be more granulated. I think it made a huge difference in the way it turned out! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
